The book trailers are completed! Now, what do I do with them? I do not want the students’ hard work to go waste. I will post a few here on the blog, but with 60 book trailers created that is a lot to put in a post or page. So one idea I had was utilizing QR Codes.
What are QR Codes? Quick Response Codes
Students can be led to information on the web by utilizing their mobile devices. I thought using a QR Code was a perfect way to connect students to the various book trailers created. All the students book trailers are going to be converted into a QR Code and housed in a binder in the room, available for students to peruse through when wanting a new book to read. The students can use a mobile device, take a picture of the code and watch the book trailer.
Hopefully, this will cut down on the dreaded words, “I do not know what to read! Nothing seems interesting.” I will hand the student the binder and say, “I am sure there is something of interest in here!”
There are so many uses for QR Codes in the classroom for teachers and students. Here is a link to get started utilizing QR Codes: QR Code Guide
Happy Exploring!
